Can't say I feel sorry for the Tigers.  They've had their day in the sun. 

They are lucky to have Lynch but they traded out good players to fit his $ in.  Depth or lack thereof may come back to bite them. 

Having Rance and Riewoldt out will certainly challenge their game plan.  They also have Houli and Caddy out for a few weeks.  Their next month is:  Giants, Port, Sydney, Demons.  They could easily lose a few of those.  They don't have much time to adjust their game plan to cover injuries.  Doubt they'll make top 4.  All the better for us!

On every measure their game last night was worse than ours last week.  Will be a very interesting ANZAC Eve game.

    They’ve had two blessed years on the injury front.  The weight of averages would say that it wouldn’t go on forever.

    Get the delight but we have a few issues ourselves. Best we get those sorted as we could have played the Narabeem colts side and lost Saturday the way we played .

    I can't believe they kept him on the field with a potentially serious injury.  He kept re-injuring it during the game.

    Of course he will. If it was Max Gawn who did this exact injury he would be out for 12 years

    4 weeks, you'd reckon he will be back round 7 at best

    Could be back in time for Round 6. 

     

    Steven May will be slapping the hell out of that hand and wrist if Riewoldt plays.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
